Does Jeff not agree with the straight-forward message about stopping the spending by Congress?

Best I can recall, Wisdom has said the same thing but does not have the record (recorded votes) of Nodler as past Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee in reducing the size of government and balancing the Missouri State Budget.

Maybe Wisdom needs to spend some time on a school board, fire district board, as an alderman or in some capacity to get some real life experience instead of simply textbook and classroom theory.

Don't mean he's not a well-intended fellow, but really, a Congressman?????

Responding to: "Maybe Wisdom needs to spend some time on a school board, fire district board, as an alderman or in some capacity to get some real life experience instead of simply textbook and classroom theory."

So, Mr. Nodler, you wouldn't call spending a year of your life in a war zone face-to-face with Sunni Takfiri detainees "real-life" experience? I'd like to see you tell that to all the veterans groups in the district. You ever woken up in the middle of the night to sirens warning of incoming rockets and mortars from the enemy? You ever had a rocket explode about 25 meters from where you were sleeping? You ever spent almost a year on foreign soil, separated from family, friends, or career? Apparently you see Mr. Wisdom's campaign as an obstacle to your election, Senator Nodler. Otherwise, you wouldn't keep devoting so much time to personally attacking him on this blog.

Don't you have better things to do than worry about someone that you assert will get few votes in the race? Oh, then again, maybe you really are worried that he might get quite a few votes. Don't you realize the more you talk about your "experience," the more people are turned off. Experience in Washington gave us the out-of-control government we have today. We don't need more politicians like you who are just looking for a job promotion! Why don't you just go home and enjoy your government retirement?

I am one of the "monkeys" that helped write the ad. Monkeys don't used typewriters anymore, we use computers. The web address will be added to the finalized version of the ad. It pleases me to see that some people have nothing better to do than criticize the work of monkey's trying to make an honest living. By the way "monkeys" have feelings too.

Jeff has talked about everything from the economy, to illegal immigration, to health care reform, to constitutional government. He only discusses his military service when asked to define himself as a person and explain his background. While other candidates simply give you the traditional conservative talking points, he is putting new ideas on the table on each issue. No other candidate has done that. Whether you like him or not, he is a candidate that reinforces the debate of issues by thinking outside the box. Name one new idea or proposal that Noodler has put on the table. Ummmmm, that's what I thought!!
